It's also true that when large numbers of sports fans tune in to watch a game, they have no interest in listening to a lot of blather about politics and culture from the on air announcers. And they sure aren't interested in seeing or hearing protests and political statements from the players.
Keep it up and more sports will see declines in viewership experienced by the NFL last season.
Same as media + entertainment. Don’t count on any sanctuaries out there. They will be gone.
